Quick Shots: Reviews of some stuff I’ve seen and read…

I should do this more often, but I don’t.  However, I will try to get an article like this out more often.

Today, I’m going to give a bunch of quick reviews of movies and TV shows I’ve seen and watched the past few weeks.

Rob Corddry
Hot Tub Time Machine – Saw it two weeks ago.  HILARIOUS.  It’s every bit as good as I wanted it to be. I will still say that they gave away too many jokes in the trailer and the ridiculous amount of clips they released online. However, this movie is still funny.  Rob Corddry nearly steals the whole shebang.  Also, look for a VERY covert appearance by none other than the Kobra Kai himself, William Zabka.  I swear you won’t recognize him.  For me, this movie is NEARLY as good as The Hangover.

Bad Lieutenant
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans – Watched this last night.  It’s terrible.  Nic tries to relive his Leaving Las Vegas performance.  He must have succeeded because I hated this movie every bit as much as I hated Leaving Las Vegas.  At least LLV had some decent boobie scenes.  F**k this movie.

Predators wallpaper
Predator 2 – I’m gearing up for the new Predator movie in July. I watched the first Predator on Blu-Ray and that movie still holds up. It’s awesome. Just listening to Arnold scream “GET TO THA CHOPPA!” gets my adrenaline pumping.  So I finally watched the sequel, Predator 2 with Danny Glover.  I’m sorry, but there’s no way Murtaugh is gonna kill a Predator.  NO F***ING WAY.  And you rarely get to see the Predator, which, in this movie is bad because there’s absolutely nothing else going on that is interesting.  NOTHING.  Instead of Jesse Ventura we get Bill Paxton.  Instead of Arnold’s Dutch we get GARY F***ING BUSEY.  Yes, Gary Busey’s character was originally written as Dutch.  WTF?!  I want to cry.  For straight up bad ass Predator action, I prefer the first Alien vs Predator movie, even though, as a movie, it’s horrible.  HORRIBLE.  I love Predator based on the original movie, but there has yet to be another movie anywhere near as good as the first.  Hopefully, that gets rectified in July with Rodriguez’s Predators.

Hope you have an AWESOME and Zombie-less Easter

Posted in Easter, holiday, zombies with tags , , on April 4, 2010 by Paxton

Here’s hoping you have a great holiday devoid of the walking dead.  However, if you are attacked, and you start shuffling across this Earth looking for braaaaaaaaaains, I’ll, of course, hunt you down and send you back to the bowels of Hell from whence you came.

But I’ll feel reeeeeeeeeeally bad about it.  I may even tear up.

Well, maybe not tear up, but I’ll look sadly at your decapitated zombie corpse for a few seconds.  You deserve that much.

Happy Easter everyone!
